Yeah, the cards always probe in the bios just fine. FreeBSD probes
the cards too (they show up in the dmesg).
The problem comes when the ATA drive list has to be displayed. FreeBSD
crash dumps right as it tries to print that list.
I'll post the relevant bits from the current dmesg to illustrate:

This machine is a hodge-podge of hardware because it was made from spare
parts (except for the 80GB HDDs). It's design goal was to make a cheap,
large, cheap, reasonable performance, cheap fileserver. The $100 mobo
hurts goals 1, 3, and 5, but if it helps goal 4 I'm willing to bite the
bullet.
This is actually the second life of this box. The first configuration
had 2 filesystem. A big 6 disk and a smaller 4 disk one. The 6 disk
was made from all of the disks acting as masters, while the smaller one
consisted of the slaves. It worked ok, but the larger one needed more
room and we got a secondary fileserver to take over the job of the
smaller one (backups).
